Horrible

Pros

Your doing what you love to do!

Cons

Lossy pay, cheap guest, poor upper management, they only cater to one type of clientele. Even thought they state there versatile. You will never commission because there aren't enough guest that come there. Not sure if it's because it's in Walmart. With the location people think it's low end hair styling. They hire a lot of girls who can't cut.

Pros

located in retail giant, can promote yourself, rotates who takes next retail and service sale, hiring process was very simple, if you hit commission for a period of time they will up your %.

Cons

Have to work their schedule, Matrix color and perms only, pricing structure for haircuts is based on length of hair, conditioner is extra so if hair is long it can cost as much as $30 extra to apply a basic regular conditioner! Can only use their brand styling products on customers instead of all of it as sales tool, cannot get retail commission sold (which would be 5%) unless you make commission close to 1K per week, whether or not you work part time or full time. Was told I would not make any money on weekends :( Was told when hired commission or hourly, which ever was greater, asked more than once is there a minimum amount we have to make to get commission? I was told no, until I signed the *many* electronic documents they wanted me to sign

Pros

convenient, Friendly environment, and management.

Cons

No one really knows what procedures and pricing is, the commission is confusing and near impossible to make unless your salon is constantly busy, which it never is. On top of that, the salon is in walmart, people think you work for walmart, and don't tip.
